Joeemm Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Hi all,I'm happy to say that my wife and I are settling in very nicely, thanks again for all the advice we got from the forum. I also managed to get a really nice job and this will be my 3rd month with the company We really found Perth a very nice place to live so far. But we recently met a couple who are here on a work contract and they seem to be having a tough time, what with missing family etc. they found xmas really hard. I wonder if anyone can suggest some ideas to help them settle in. We're aiming to keep in regular contact, by meeting for coffee or chating on the phone from time to time.Are there any plans for another Perth geet together sometime? Or if a couple of people want to get together for coffee, I can try get these guys to come along, just to broaden their contacts?What do people think?

Mara Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Hi JoeemmYou will be blessed if you take them under your wing. I have been doing so for 13 years now, most of the time, very rewarding, and I do not mean in $ terms.We had a complete stranger from this site with us on Christmas Day, as I could not imagine anybody spending the day alone. We meet so many SA's, some stay in contact a while, some disappear, and some become lifelong friends, and here where we have no family, they become like family.Unfortunately I live in Melbourne, but I am sure the others in Perth will respond to your message!

Iron-gut Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I would support your idea of a get together in Perth , been in Oz for 1 year now but only been in Perth for 3weeks, relocated from the east coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blondie Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hi Debbire,My name is Tania and we have been here in Sydney for nearly 2 years. We live in Killarney Heights and if you would like to meet for a coffee, just let me know. Turramurra is about 15 - 20 minutes away from me and we have friends that live there as well.

Joeemm Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hi Parsons FamilyI actually forgot to check if anyone replied to my question, I guess work etc. got a bit hectic, I'm sorry I missed it. We did however get to go play underwater hockey with Neil and Vanessa (the new guys I wrote about) on Monday evening, and they did seem to enjoy it.Hopefully we can make the next one :-)Hey JoeemWhere were you on Sunday?
